Charmant cottage/étang, Paris 80kms, panier bio

Prima verblijf in een heel rustige omgeving. De beheerders zijn hele aardige mensen.

Just returned from a glorious week's stay at the cottage. My wife and I , together with our 12 year old daughter could not recommend the place highly enough. It has been renovated to an excellent standard with plenty of outdoor space.

The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom and well equipped kitchen.

The area is very remote and the use of a car is a must, the local town of Provins (20 mins away) is stunning with all the amenities you'll need.

We went to Disney Paris for a couple of days which is a very easy 45 minute drive.

This is a definite get away from it all location, exactly what we wanted.

The site stated a DVD player and cable TV, neither of which were available and the Wi-Fi is a little slow.

None of this was a problem and we just relaxed and read a little more.

We hebben een kleine week doorgebracht in dit mooie huis aan het meertje. Heerlijk rustig, veel ruimte zowel buiten als in het huisje. In het meertje hebben we naast veel vogels zowaar een bever gezien. Vriendelijke ontvangst en afscheid. Aanrader!

Es un precioso lugar para pasar unos día en pareja, o en familia con niños. La casa está muy bien restaurada y decorada, con un mágnífico jardín . Su situación te permite hacer excursiones por la zona, o acercarte a París a disfrutar de todos sus encantos.

Totalmente recomendable.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week in this delightful cottage in the Brie area. Michele and Alain are a lovely couple and were most welcoming. The property itself is a converted farm building dating way back. Alain has completely rebuilt the interior using many of the original oak timbers. Quality materials have been used throughout, resulting in a home which is both bright and cosy.

The property is set in a small hamlet of ten houses. To the rear of the cottage is an extensive garden planted with roses and lavender. Beyond is a small lake bordered by poplars which is pure idyllic rural France. It's worth taking a gentle stroll round it.

The cottage is just 20 minutes or so drive from Provins. This is a beautiful town whose old quarter is stunning and whose buildings date back to medieval times. There are some excellent highlights which are a must do. For us, the most interesting was the Tithe Barn. It was packed with information which gave a real insight into life in medieval times. A close second was a guided tour of the underground passages beneath some of the main buildings. Also worth a visit is Caesar's tower, perched atop the highest point of the old town.

You are only a short distance from the Champage area and a drive along the Champagne Trail is well worth doing. The small towns and villages in the surrounding countryside each have their own character and we also enjoyed a very pleasant drive along the Seine.

Finally, if you're into photography, I suggest you take a very large memory card!
